Basketball is a rapidly growing sport on the continent of Africa. While its popularity is still dwarfed by association football, foreign investors, led by the National Basketball Association (NBA), are betting that it will be able to compete in the near future.

There are currently 16 African-born players in the National Basketball Association (NBA), including the league's Most Valuable Player, Joel Embiid.
